Pros

Our editorial view of this model’s strengths and limitations.

Over-ear cups surround the ears, with an adjustable headband to help tailor the fit.

Active noise cancellation and ambient listening let you reduce background hum or hear your surroundings without removing the headphones.

USB-C supports lossless audio from compatible sources. This is a wired mode, not lossless over standard Bluetooth.

The manufacturer rates listening time at up to 20 hours per charge with ANC on. Actual endurance depends on volume, codec and enabled features.

How do we assess advantages and disadvantages?

Our editorial assessment draws on specifications, manufacturer documentation and available material about the model. It does not imply our own laboratory testing. We distinguish physical RAM from virtual expansion; features and box contents can vary by market. Reference prices are conversions; check the store for the final price of an offer.
